I3s tires are expensive. I was pricing them when looking at them. And they don't last...

[Northern]

edit: looks like Discount Tire Direct has the 175s... $238/each lol

Are they just expensive tires? Or is it the classic BMW "Let's only use fucked up sizes" thing that I'm sure anyone with an e30 has noticed when shopping for tires.
My Mini is the same way and I'm starting to think it's worth getting the 5% oversize tires to have better selection/pricing...

If you have the charging done and your daily commute is reasonable (less than 50 miles each way) its a wonderful car. Mine does maybe 100 in a week so I only charge it once a week

Lately I dont know if I drive 50 a week lol.

You’re grossly overestimating how much free time I have lol

Thats why I did the canyon run today. That’s the best back to back on that front

The local club is typically doing Saturday Sunday events but with different layouts. If I was real good I would attend the first, install a part, then attend the next day. But, like you, don't have that time and I don't have the energy for that.

You gotta autocross stock. Or take to track and set some lap times. THEN go back after the sway bars to see how much it upgrades it.

I have been seriously considering going EV lately. I am having some work done in my garage to add.a heater and I am going to have the electrician add a few more 240v to get ready.

I think the sways will make a huge difference, love to hear the results. I remember in the E46 days just going to bigger sways made more of a handling feel difference than anything else.

I took it up to Newcombs Ranch today. I was chasing a 996 C4S and he was shocked that I was with him for so long.


On the way down a photographer heard me coming (think about that for a second) and got his camera ready and managed to get this pic


I turned around to ask if he actually took a picture he said it was the hilarious at what he saw after what he heard... again, think about what he was hearing



Also, this arrived today. Less than 1 month to install & have you guys get me to 1k subs so you can see this thing autocross

Im like 880 subscribers away from listening to anything that the peanut gallery suggests...

Ha, 1k subs on YT cost what, $80? I think we can crowdfund that.

Who else thinks Simon should test out his new sway bar and tires at an autocross?

That said, Im strongly considering it still LOL

I need to sell the 1 year old 155/70/19s so I can also get the Sport tune so I can get the better traction control and better steering. Help me sell em and I will be there

Back in late January I ordered the i3s Swaybar and it finally arrived to bluntech and then they will ship it to me. I hope the combo of that and a square tire setup will make the car a little more to toss around. I thought I saw that the Ecopia 500 was available in 175/60/19, but I looked at tirerack today and they only had the 155/60/19 and the rest were all 20”... kinda annoying, but I’ll start with the swaybar

Should I take the go-pro with me on my drive and do a comparison?

We finally get compliance, one car later...

Also, the mini googly is intimidated by the reversing eye of Sauron above.

I love you guys...
